@"samantha.ashley92" said: I did it. I'm not sure how I'll explain it yet haha. Honestly, I feel like the jump in my LSAT score will outweigh the gap in my resume. If anything, I'll twist it into how I learned financial responsibility in order…

You need a part-time gig. Even 4 empty post-college months on a resume looks terrible on an application. Obviously if you score a 175+ it won't matter too much but if you are at the median for a school and they see that you took off 6+ months and qu…

If you're committed to doing ED your stats make you a stronger candidate for Berkeley than for Northwestern as the former (which you state above) carries equal weight for GPA and LSAT. Obviously you'll include in the app that you are retaking the LS…

This is a challenging, but crucial decision for the vast majority of applicants. Attending a school that is regionally competitive (generally T40-50) can be a strong option for those without Big Law aspirations. I personally am torn between Minneapo…

I’m down. My RC could use a lot of work...

@testfromaway said: Three weeks isn't enough time to complete 20+ PTs without doing your head in, but it is enough time to do some foolproofing! You can make serious gains by improving your LG score, so that's where I'd put my time and energy …

I'd like to add that retaking a score in the 170's could potentially send a message to a school with a median in the 169 range (mid-lower t14) that you're not that interested in attending and they might YP you. If you are in the HYS or bust kind of …

@BinghamtonDave definitely deserves this very helpful guy

I don't think that doing games by type (beyond the CC) is a good strategy. Part of the challenge with logic games is knowing how to interpret the setup of the game and translating that into a board setup on your paper. If you enter into a game with …

When I calculate my score I leave them blank and then find a 1/5 probability for each one (adding them together for the whole test). For example if I skipped 5 questions on a test then I will give myself 1 extra point on that test as opposed to ente…

@teelyssa7 said: Hello! I have a question about the study schedule. I plan on taking the November 2018 test as well as the January 2019 test. Would it be best to follow the five month plan or the seven month plan? Why do you want to take in …

@jkjohnson1991 said: I’m having a bit of trouble in LR. I find myself rushing and missing questions that I should not. My BR scores reflect that I know more than I am showing in my PT’s but I seem to go in a bit of a panic state at times and m…

I am pretty sure there aren't any calls scheduled. I was sad to have missed them as well.

If you don't mind waiting 2 years to take the LSAT (when you come back) you might find that waiting 2 years is the best option for you. It gives you the most freedom to study at your own leisure and to not risk a rushed score drop. In addition, the …

@Sleepysloth said: thank you guys, this is all great advice! I am sticking with my September LSAT date so I will instead spread out my PT's, I agree that BR on the same day has been tiresome... and I will definitely keep reviewing my problem a…

It sounds like your resume will be the strongest part of your application and you have an amazing, albeit tragic, personal statement topic. Also, you'll be able to include an addendum than an un-diagnosed medical condition damaged your grades. These…

A high score like that shows that you are capable of scoring in the high 160's but it's not a trend yet. If you're scoring up there now, there's no reason why you can't score there consistently by September. Good Luck

I’m not sure that 5 takes really looks any worse than 4 to be completely honest
-
Also, while we're on the topic of application strength - taking a "year off" to study for the LSAT is going to be seriously damaging to your application. I hope that you are working part-time (at least) or have something significant to fill the gap …

Getting a masters degree solely because you think it will help your law school admissions profile is a bad idea. A masters degree and a masters thesis will both make you a stronger candidate but this fairly marginal benefit to your application will …

That sounds like too many PTs. Also, if you have a strong RC score already, you can most likely do it. That tends to take people the longest

I paid for LST pro, probably not worth $75 bucks but it's useful. I recommend that you check out lawschoolnumbers, LST and ATL rankings to name a few. Also a great tool is mylsn it compiles information from previous cycles and shows you the percenta…

I always watch the video right after I finish a game because that’s what JY recommends

Is it close to your goal score?

@JustDoIt said: As others have said, it depends. For the first 10-15 questions, I would spend about 45 seconds before the answer choices. However, if it is a parallel flaw or parallel reasoning, I would skip. This is when you know what to expe…

Try to see if there are trends in your BR misses! Maybe you struggle with a specific question type that others find easy. If so, try to drill that question type. It's really simple advice and you probably heard it a million times on here but it's th…
